Alex points out the features of the layout and demos the system. |

Mike Marois watches what Alex does. Barry isn't hiding... he is
looking at the view from my house on Wisch Mountain. |

So does Joe and Seren Huston. |

Also, Brian, Don and Tom. |

This is the Marine Reserve Tank and Helicopter Squadron. |

A view toward the Southwest. The houses on the ridge may not last. |

A long view down the crossing track. The freight yard is to the
left. |

The northwest toward the coal yard. The construction crew is
building the road up to the mountain. |

The long view from the northeast corner. We are going to fill in the
lake and make it an amusement park. Since the river will run past it
we will call it Riverview. (How about that, Chicagoans!) |

The southern view. |

The railroad hotel and passenger station area. |

The crossing track and bridges. |

The industrial spur with the TradeNet building. |

My company, TradeNet, in the future. |

The abandoned farm house off the cattle yard spur. While nothing
runs like a Deere, this one doesn't run, dear. |

The yellow passenger car is Alex's Diner. When he was little, Alex
made a lot of cars into diner's. |

Our future town. |

The 7-11 store. Slurpee, anyone? |

Now that Jeannine and Aaron are going to have grandchildren they get
their own house. |
